Any pet invariably becomes a member of the family, which means that it needs a name. All cats and dogs have nicknames, and parrots are no exception. Few owners pay enough attention to coming up with a suitable name for their parrot, but the name can determine the future fate of your pet and even change the style of his behavior.
Instructions
Step 1
You can choose a nickname for a parrot according to its breed, as well as the country where it comes from. Unlike dogs, parrots respond well to nicknames starting with vowels. Whatever name you choose for your pet, do it sincerely and with heart - this name will accompany your new friend throughout his life.
Step 2
Do not use the names of your friends and family or the people you live with. In order to quickly accustom the parrot to the new name, say the nickname while feeding the pet, and also “train” the bird for several minutes every day, pronouncing its name and encouraging when the bird will react to it. Always greet your parrot by name when you enter the room it lives in.
Step 3
Since most parrots are able to speak, choose a name for your pet that he can pronounce. It should not be too complicated and long, and the sounds in the name should correspond to the breed of the parrot. For example, if you have a budgerigar, pick a nickname for it with the letters "e", "and", as well as hissing sounds.
Step 4
Avoid sonorous (m, n, l) sounds in the nickname - the bird is unlikely to be able to pronounce them. Try to keep the name short and easy to pronounce. If you apply imagination to coming up with a name, you will achieve originality and uniqueness, despite the fact that you will be limited in your work to a certain set of sounds and the length of the name.
Step 5
When teaching a parrot to speak, be patient - perhaps his nickname will not be the first word he learns to pronounce on his own.
